The way you come into a new state, after a long journey with an interval of 14 hours in Kuala Lumpur, with a rest day in the hotel, lasts 48 hours, creating what in psychology is called imprinting, the first impression what remains, and that counts. The passport control is easy, the Customs jump because the winter tourists, particularly rare. In return, 31 days later, we checked and treated as dangerous terrorists to have recklessly purchased its bottles, sealed in a double gift box and confiscated because, in addition to exceed the maximum allowed in the gorge were someone who had found the gift for wife, girlfriend or lover who was. However, the imprinting was good and throughout the trip we had only the greatest kindness by all Australians encountered. We look ahead to the Shuttle that will take us into town, but, given the early morning hours and the sudden transition from Thirty degrees of 10 to 7 am of Adelaide, we take a taxi. For inveterate habit and distrust in providing credit card information to be used only in desperate situations we have not booked hotels, but we have the addresses along Hindley Street. The taxi takes us to the first hotel, the Hotel Plaza, but it's all full. We move then to Breakfree where we find an apartment for five nights. We take your bags in un'autorimessa, but they are adamant about the fact the entrance to Room 14. We go out from the mesh covered with wool and brought kway backpack, shortly after we meet the first runners in singlet and shorts that Caracolla along the North Terrace. We are not equipped to run, but we can walk along the Torrens River with families, cyclists and all those who make sport. In the following days will visit the city that is structured in a central part formed by a square of a mile on each side and outside the square. Along the North Terrace are the museums, the Art Gallery and the University .. Un po 'out of the square, north-east of the Botanic Gardens and Wineries Center, Hindley Street on the local entertainment in Rundle Street and Rundle Mall shopping main. In the eight days from one day to devote to a Glenelg and Cleland Wildlife Park. Skip the trip scheduled to Kangaroo Island for fear of the cold in the morning and evening, but a visit to the Park Cleland is already more than enough direct contact with the Australian fauna. The Wallabies and kangaroos in the park are close to the tourist and eat from his hands. Adelaide is a quiet town, a human, with very green trees, numerous shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. Ideal for a first encounter with Australia for those who want to make a quiet trip
